With fans other than family members in the stands for the first time this season, No. 5 Kansas defeated No. 8 Creighton 73-72 on Tuesday, improving to 5-1 on the season.
Marcus Zegarowski had a chance to tie the game when he was fouled on a last-second three-point attempt with the Blue Jays down 73-70, but missed the last free throw to seal the deal for the Jayhawks.
The Jayhawks, coming off of a four-point victory against North Dakota State (who Creighton defeated by 11 points in their season-opener), were led to their fourth-straight win by Jalen Wilson, who tied his career-high 23 points while adding 10 rebounds in the win.
